Files Fig5a.txt, Fig5b.txt, Fig5c.txt, Fig5d.txt, Fig5e.txt, Fig5f.txt

These have dimensions 5000 x 110. There are results from 5,000 simulations, over 110 years of the simulation time period.

Data are shown in Figure 5 of the publication: 
Spies, I. Spencer, P., Punt, A. 2015. Where do we draw the line? A simulation approach for evaluating management of marine fish stocks with isolation-by-distance stock structure. Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci. Vol. 72, 2015.

Fig5a.txt represents mean relative biomass in Northern rockfish in deme 1 under separated management.
Fig5b.txt represents mean relative biomass in Pacific cod in deme 1 under separated management.
Fig5c.txt represents mean relative biomass in Northern rockfish in deme 1 under catch cascading management.
Fig5d.txt represents mean relative biomass in Pacific cod in deme 1 under catch cascading management.
Fig5e.txt represents mean relative biomass in Northern rockfish in deme 1 under combined management.
Fig5f.txt represents mean relative biomass in Pacific cod in deme 1 under combined management.

Note: there are no units to the data, as data represent the mean over 5000 simulations of a proportion of spawning biomass in a given year divided by the unfished spawning biomass. 

File output1.txt:
Data represent mean relative biomass, averaged over 5000 model runs for Pacific cod simulations. There are no units, as data represent a proportion of spawning biomass in a given year divided by the unfished spawning biomass. Each column represents a spatial area, from 1 to 10. Rows represent different levels of migration and management unit configurations. Rows 1-6 incorporate low migration and rows 7-12 high migration. Rows 1 and 7  use combined management, rows 2 and 8 use separated management, rows 3 and 9 catch cascading, rows 4 and 10 split management areas between spatial areas 2 and 3, rows 5 and 11 split management areas between spatial areas 5 and 6, rows 6 and 12 split management areas between spatial areas 8 and 9. 

Data is used to plot Figure 6a, b in Spies, Spencer, Punt 2015.

File Fig8a.txt:

Dimensions are: 

 7 rows, 11 columns. This entire file represents simulation results for Pacific cod, averaged over 100 simulations. The first row represents the target fishing mortality rate (per year). The rest of the rows represent equilibrium yield x1000 tons at each level of fishing mortality rate under different types of management strategies:
row 2: Combined management
row 3: Separated management
row 4: 2|3 management
row 5: 5|6 management
row 6: 8|9 management
row 7: catch cascading

File Fig8b.txt
This is exactly the same as Fig8a.txt except that it represents simulations for Northern rockfish.
